Only 2 metamagic till level 10. I hate that. Their level 7 feature is so boring for 3 levels.

Not just boring ... probably not super relevant. If I've got Subtle Spell ... I don't need to be applying that in the midst of a battle I've got my Sorcererous Rage up! I was hoping Sorcerers would get 3 starting Metamagics.

Draconic sorcerers now get 10+Dex+CHA for AC.

Sorlockadins are gonna be even less MAD.

The lvl 7 feature also lets you spend 2 sorcery points to activate you "Sorcerers Rage" if you have no uses left. To me that is the core part of the feature. At level 7 you now have 10 sorcery points so you can afford to keep your main feature active for 4 combats a day without feeling a pinch on your resources.

What I find funny is that they accidentally recreated and converted Repeating spell as a replacement for Twinned Spell.

Then they didn't include it as Repeating spell.

That's fair. The double Metamagics won't really kick in until after level 10 anyway, and more uses is good

Or a level 2 slot.

But I do agree it would of been nice to get a 3rd metamagic to go along with this feature.

I am hopeful that they will change Mage Armor to be the same, Dex + casting ability modifier.

Ouch. That sucks. Essentially kills the feature. Homebrewing that immediately.

The changes to the metamagics are good though, and I do think that the Twin Spell metamagic is going to be okay, since it only costs a single point. That's a decent change for it.
